You can create a single-node OpenShift cluster for deploying a Che instance using Red Hat OpenShift Local.

Prerequisites

chectl. See: Installing the chectl management tool.
A running instance of Red Hat OpenShift Local. See Red Hat OpenShift Local overview.`
The file path of the user’s Red Hat OpenShift Local pull secret.
Available memory is 12 GB or more.
Available disk size is 64 GB or more.

Procedure

Remove the previous cluster:
```
$ crc delete
```
Configure your host machine for Red Hat OpenShift Local:
```
$ crc setup
```
Start the Red Hat OpenShift Local virtual machine with at least 12 GB of memory and 64 GB of disk space. Also, specify the path to your pull secret and take note of the password for the kubeadmin user displayed at the end of the Red Hat OpenShift Local initiation:
```
$ crc start --memory 12288 --disk-size=64 --pull-secret-file <pull_secret_file>
```
Enable access to the oc command line interface embedded in Red Hat OpenShift Local:
```
$ eval $(crc oc-env)
```
Install the Che instance using chectl:
```
$ chectl server:deploy --platform crc
```
